This is not your typical lemon cookie recipe. Sure, lemon cookies are a classic, but with the addition of white chocolate, these cookies are extra special. The lemony flavor pairs fabulously with the sweet white chocolate chips. You've got to try it!
The best part? These cake mix lemon cookies only take minutes to mix together. They really couldn't be easier to make. I hope your family enjoys them as much as mine does!
Happy cooking,
Ingredient Notes
- Box lemon cake mix: Any standard box of lemon cake mix will work. Duncan Hines and Betty Crocker are popular, but store brand works, too.
- Eggs: Use 2 large eggs straight from the refrigerator.
- Vegetable oil: Canola oil is a good swap.
- White chocolate chips: I do not recommend regular chocolate chips for this recipe. Stick with white!
